I only tested the old Yinhe Saturn Pro; it was similar to the Big Dipper but softer and tackier, if I recall correctly. I'm curious to test this new version

seems like there's a soft and hard version on Ali here. It's about 2500 yen, so less than $20 US. As usual, no thickness options.

A bit off topic: how do you buy chinese rubbers in Japan?

It's totally on topic. I don't know because I'm not that deep in TT culture, just my club, but I don't see them in equipment shops. I guess folk buy from Ali if they are bargain hunters and from domestic online stores if they are wealthy.
I like Ali for a random bargain buy. It's fun. I got MTB handle grips yesterday. they were 80% cheaper than buying on amazon and no different. I'd guess same factory as known brands.
That's how I became aware of their TT rubbers and blades, by searching for MTB parts.

I know! I was hoping there is a secret shop that sells cheap chinese rubbers in Japan, because i will go there soon. Kokusaitakkyu has none, and WRM only has some Yinhe and Loki rubbers.

Sorry for off topic. I hope someone can give a review on Saturn s1.

Never used it, but overhead someone talking about the rubber and it is an identical clone to H3. Way more tackier, but feels a lot softer.

I think I would like to try this rubber, I just wonder how hard the M+ and the H- is supposed to be?

Edit perhaps it's something like 37°and 39° DHS.

The Sponge looks like the one from moon 12 rubber. It also shares the hardness scale m/h. With moon 12 m+ feels like 48° esn.
I think I'll place an order, because I like the sponge of moon 12.

I didn't like the topsheet of the Moon 12 M- when I tested last week on the backhand. I will try it on the forehand next week.

It was however very hot and humid in the TT hall that day.
